If it weren't for the trials we've been through

There was an old lady sittin' under a tree
Cm7                        Fsus4     
She called me over and she said to me
Bb                    Dm7        
My days left here may not be long
Cm7                                               
I wouldn't waste my time tellin' you nothin' wrong
    Bb                              Dm7             
But love is a flower that needs the sun and the rain
  Cm7                              Fsus4            
A little bit of pleasure's worth a whole lot of pain
   Bb                    Dm7           
If you learn this secret how to forgive
  Cm7                               
A longer and better life you'll live

Some of my closest friends have thought they had that thing on a string
                  Cm7                                                    Bb   
Just 'cause their man was bringin' em flowers and candy and all kinds of gifts
       Dm7                          Cm7                                    Fsus4     
Mmmmmm honey some gifts are just to make him feel better while he's on his guilt trip
          Bb                    Dm7        
About the night before you know what I mean
Cm7                                                                     
Especially when you know you haven't been doin' the things you should do
Bb                  Dm7                       Cm7
Think about it what is the man tryin' to tell you
                  Fsus4                        Bb     
Sometimes flowers mean Maybe we should just be friends
